Astore allows customers to fill their own bags of candy. glen decides he only wants caramels and candy corn. caramels sell for $0.95 per pound, and candy corn sells for $0.79 per pound. glens bag weighs 1.7 pounds and it costs $1.48. p is the number of pounds of caramels glen purchases, what expressions could be used to represent the number of pounds candy corn he purchased. a)1.7 b)1.7-p c)p+1.7 d)p-1.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Glen decides he only wants caramels and candy corn.  

p is the number of caramels Glen purchases.

Let q be the number of candy corns Glen purchases

Since price per pound caramel is 0.95 cost of caramel

=0.95p

Since price per pound candy corns is 0.79 cost of caramel

=0.79q

Total pounds = Glens bag weight = p+q =1.7

and total cost = 0.95p+0.79q = 1.48

Hence we can write the number of pounds of candy corn in two ways

q = 1.7-p and

q=\frac{1.48-0.95p}{0.79}

step-by-step explanation:

(s)he  is right it would be 5.5% because it is smaller than 15.5% or anything smaller than 15.5% in general
